As is the case in most “PTBNL” situations, Baker is the least significant piece in the deal. The 6-foot-6 right-hander doesn’t appear on any major prospect lists and is currently toiling at the High-A level in a relief role.

In 45 innings this season he’s posted an impressive 11.6 K/9, but it’s been paired with an ugly 6.8 BB/9. That has resulted in a 3.80 ERA, a number that’s rather misleading because the former 40th-round pick has allowed almost as many unearned runs (17) as earned runs (19).
